My Journey into Leica...

A path not to be taken lightly, not without reservations, and not without dedication, but the results can be sweet, OH SO SWEET! This is a documentation of my trials and tribulations into the world of Leica Rangefinder Photography, and I hope you'll enjoy coming along with me.

I've been feeling a bit of shooting drought lately, both on and off the basketball court. I don't know if it's lack of inspirations, opportunities, or just the drive, but I think the best way to get out of the funk is the same: you gotta shoot your way out of it. Just keep shooting.

Today, after coming home from playing basketball, I saw this nice light glowing on the plants we had in the backyard. Before I change out of my dirty shirt, I put on the trusty 50'Lux and went out to take some shots. Nothing earth shattering happened, but it did get me thinking and shooting again. I played with different angles, shooting into the sun and got a few crazy flares.

During post processing, I played with some VSCO film presets again, but decided that I liked the images just as the 50'Lux had rendered. The next two look particularly nice in black and white to me.
